Here's where you can find any notes we think you need to read, stuff about upcoming events or changes going on around the ranch. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them on the guest friendly FAQ board or send a message to an admin.

Ever wonder who plays a certain character? Need to claim a face or check if your face is taken? Want to contact someone but you don't know how? Want to see what open threads are available? There's a list of important directories right here.

Here's where you can find the offices and other 'outbuildings' associated with the ranch. Each office is its own small cabin and they are all clearly marked with whose office it is, what hours the person is in and an emergency number if needed!

Here's where you can find the various single home cabins our resident staff live in. This area is generally off limits to residents. The ranch foreman will reside in a spacious apartment above the horse stalls in the main barn, while the ranch hands share a four man bunk above the smaller private horse barn.

Our bunks are really small cabins we've converted to house 4-6 residents. Make friends, cause ya'll are sharing a bathroom and we don't need any divas throwing fits (Rivers does enough of that for all of us). The cabins are named for the color of their roof and they are finally painted in their correct colors!

Following the hurricane, the Lodge has been renovated to suit the growing needs of the ranch. On the main floor there is a small living area, a couple of game tables and a full kitchen and dining area. There are cabinets stocked with all sorts of board, card and video games. In the back of the lodge is a large laundry area and several computers residents can use at any time. Upstairs is a large, theater style room; there's even a popcorn maker up there!

A custom built barn holds the in-ground pool that is open for residents to use along with a small gym area with exercise equipment and free weights. Also in this building is a game room with a billiard, air hockey and ping pong tables. Behind the large building is a half mile circular track and in the middle, open area of that track is a full sized basketball court.

There are three barns on our property housing the various livestock we keep. The main barn is a large horse barn, complete with tack room and an indoor riding area. The second barn is full of feed but has a large lean to for our cattle and the third barn is a small barn that houses Talan and Rivers' animals.

There are two large arenas, one indoor and one outdoor, for lessons and training as well as miles of outdoor trails weaving through the woods. Remember, the horses are part of our family, so I don't want to see anyone out there doing anything stupid.

The closest town is about five miles down the road. There you'll find Cowboy Jack's Dance Hall and Saloon, Miss Betty's Diner, May's Service Station, Annabelle's Vet Clinic and the Morning Bird Cafe and Coffee Shop.. just to name a few.

This is where you can play out threads from the past or from the future. Also, all past event threads and threads from no longer used forums have a home here as well! Remember though, this is not AU. Anything played out here is considered canon to your characters story line!

Any mail sent to our residents will be sorted and put into cubby-bins in the big house, you can pick up your items there. There are a bank of computers in the lodge for you, as well as a couple of laptops you can check out at the big house. The entire ranch is wired for wireless and has excellent cell coverage. Here's where you can keep your email, instant messenger, cell phone and social networking threads.

Fall is here. Leaves are changing colors. It's time for cocoa, hot tea, and apple cider. The air is crisp and clean and cool. Bring out your scarfs and hats and expect the rain to come drizzling down. It's time for Halloween too, so don't forget the candy and costumes!
